Guided House Tour

Guided House Tour

Join us for an in depth experience with one of our knowledgeable Visitor Assistants.

Tours will begin at 11.15am at the information desk and end at 12noon in the House. When the tour is finished you are welcome to stay in the House and explore our collection and the spaces further at your own pace.

Tickets should be booked in advance online or in person. Online booking will close the day before each tour.

We ask that you arrive at 11am, 15 minutes before the start of your tour.
